The man in black couldn't help but laugh out loud, "It's not up to you to decide whether I deserve it or not. When Xia Mang captured me, he skinned me, pulled out my tendons, broke my bones, and imprisoned my soul here for countless years. He used my dragon qi to nurture a spiritual material for him. Why didn't you call him an evil man? "
Xia Qi stared at him and said, "If you didn't kill the people of the Central Prefecture, why would the ancestors do anything to you? You brought this upon yourself. The reason why you were imprisoned for all these years was to avenge the people you killed. "
Hearing Xia Qi talk about his evil deeds, the man in black snorted and didn't want to say anything more. Back then, he needed a large amount of spiritual herbs to breakthrough. If it wasn't for this, where would he find them in such a short time?
Lu Xuan shook his head lightly. Because he had the Azure Dragon bloodline, he always had a good impression of the dragon race. But he didn't expect that there would be evil men and evil dragons. This battle was unavoidable.
Seeing that the battle was imminent, Xia Zhengwen said weakly, "Be careful. This evil dragon may have been imprisoned for so many years, but now that the array is broken, it still has the strength of a Demonic Lord. Everyone must work together to have a chance of winning."
"Brothers, we have fought side by side for so many years. Today, let us fight this evil dragon together!" Xia Feng shouted.
"Protect Your Majesty with our lives!" Xia Feng's subordinates shouted loudly. They were soldiers of the Nine Dragon Dynasty's army, and protecting the dynasty was their duty.
Xia Qi said in a low voice, "If we can escape from here today, everyone will be rewarded handsomely!"
"Overestimating yourselves. A bunch of Origin Realm kids, how dare you challenge me?" The black-robed dragon said in disdain. With the strength of the Demon Emperor Realm, he was qualified to look down on everyone here. Only a Great Void Realm martial artist would make him feel a trace of fear. Xia Zhengwen was a martial artist at the peak of the Origin Realm, but didn't he almost die in his hands?
"Let's attack together!" Lu Xuan said in a low voice. Immediately, his Qi exploded and he dashed toward the Dragon Soul.
Seeing Lu Xuan take the lead, the others naturally didn't dare to delay. Xia Zheng Wen was right. In such a dangerous situation, everyone had to work together to have a chance.
Seeing that Lu Xuan was about to attack, the dragon soul in black didn't dare to be careless. He had just fought with Lu Xuan and knew that although Lu Xuan didn't seem to be very powerful, his speed and strength were far beyond his level.
His fingers curled into claws, creating a sky full of claw shadows that swept toward Lu Xuan. Lu Xuan was shocked to see this. He did not expect the Dragon Soul to think so highly of him, ignoring the attacks from the others and focusing on him.
Elemental Shield! Wall of Thorns! Earth-Element Divine Inscription! Black Tortoise Talisman! Seeing Dragon in the Field!
In an instant, Lu Xuan used all his defensive skills, including the skills of the three major schools of Soul, Body, and Soul. Now, Lu Xuan had reached his strongest defensive state!
The sky full of claw shadows hit the Wall of Thorns first. The Wall of Thorns was a magic of the wood element. Not only could it block attacks, but it could also reflect some of the attacks. It was both offensive and defensive.
One claw shadow after another was repelled by Lu Xuan, which then turned around to attack the dragon soul. However, even more claw shadows used their sharp claws to tear apart the wall of thorns and charged straight at Lu Xuan.
Apart from Tian Xin and Duan Lian, the rest of the people didn't know Lu Xuan's true strength. On the surface, Lu Xuan was undoubtedly the weakest. Seeing the Dragon Soul ignoring them and concentrating on attacking Lu Xuan, the group of martial artists was instantly enraged. This Dragon Soul was looking down on them. This was an insult to them.
Everyone executed their strongest moves and attacked Long Hun in unison. Seeing everyone's ferocious attacks, Long Hun finally started to pay attention. Among this group of people, other than Tian Xin who was at the eighth level of the Origin Realm, one of Xia Qian's subordinates was also at the eighth level of the Origin Realm. Even a tiger couldn't fight against wolves. Even though Long Hun was at the Demonic Sovereign Realm, his greatest weakness was that he didn't have a body of flesh and blood, which greatly reduced his strength.
He had no choice but to temporarily stop his attacks on Lu Xuan and divert some of his attention to deal with the attacks from Tian Xin and the others. Lu Xuan took this opportunity to quickly destroy all the claw shadows.
The Dragon Soul was indeed very strong. The defenses that Lu Xuan had set up in front of him were all destroyed by the Dragon Soul in a short period of time. Even his clothes were torn in a few places. If it wasn't for Tian Xin and the others, Lu Xuan might not be in one piece.
After breaking the Dragon Soul's attack, Lu Xuan yelled out and circulated the Blitz Thunder Shift. He instantly appeared in front of the Dragon Soul and fought alongside Tian Xin and the other martial artists. They didn't give the Dragon Soul any chance to break through.
Facing the joint attack of so many experts, the Dragon Soul couldn't kill any one of them. If he concentrated all his strength, the others would be able to take advantage of the situation. He couldn't find a way to break through in a short period of time.
Seeing the stalemate, Xia Xi couldn't help but reveal a trace of joy and said, "We blocked it! There might be a chance! "
As he finished speaking, he couldn't help but be eager to join the battle. He was also at the initial stage of the Origin Realm. Xia Qi had yet to recover from his injuries, Xia Zhengwen was severely injured, Xia Feng and Xia Qian had yet to recover. Among the imperial clansmen, he was the strongest.
Xia Qi pulled him back and shook his head, "Don't be rash. The Evil Dragon has yet to reveal his true form. He isn't at his strongest yet. Once he reveals his true form, the outcome will be unpredictable … …"
Hearing his words, Xia Xi and the others couldn't help but feel their hearts sink. That's right. The Evil Dragon had yet to reveal his true form and was already on par with Lu Xuan and the others. Once he revealed his true form, what would happen? The Evil Dragon was after all a Demonic Sovereign Realm existence. In terms of strength, it was a realm higher than Lu Xuan and the others.
As expected, it was exactly as Xia Qi said. Seeing the battle in a stalemate, the Dragon Soul was enraged. It was now a soul form. Revealing its true form required a lot of soul spirit energy. Soul spirit energy was the basis of its survival. If it wasn't necessary, it didn't want to reveal its true form. But now, it had no other choice.
"You've forced my hand!" The Dragon Soul roared angrily. Then, Lu Xuan and the others saw the black-robed Dragon Soul disappear in an instant. In an instant, a body dozens of feet long suddenly appeared in front of them. The Dragon Soul had revealed its true form!
Seeing this, the warriors couldn't help but be shocked. Was this a real dragon? Its body, which was hundreds of feet long, kept rolling about. Its four sharp claws seemed to possess boundless power. The dragon whiskers on its huge head danced in the wind, and there was a dragon horn on its head that seemed to have yet to fully grow.
None of them had seen a real dragon before. Now that a dragon-shaped creature had suddenly appeared in front of them, it had such a huge body. The impact of this was indescribable.
But what was strange was that there seemed to be several wounds around the Dragon Soul's neck. It must have been inflicted by the ancestor of the Nine Dragons Dynasty, Xia Mang.
"You're the ones who are courting death!" The Dragon Soul roared. It was still speaking in the human language. Its voice was deafening, and its tone seemed to be filled with endless anger.
After revealing its true form, the Dragon Soul did not want to waste a single moment. Its body danced in the air, and the sky was filled with claw shadows. But this time, its attack was no longer targeted at Lu Xuan alone. Instead, it included everyone, including the warriors and the five members of the Imperial Family who were hiding in the back.
"Be careful, it's dangerous!" Lu Xuan warned. He wanted to go back to help Xia Qi and the others, but the Dragon Soul seemed to be deliberately targeting him. Its attacks were fiercer than those of ordinary people. After revealing its true form, the Dragon Soul's attacks were even more powerful. At this moment, Lu Xuan was unable to split himself.
"Protect my brother!" Xia Zhengwen shouted. Although he was heavily injured, such an attack could not take his life. Only Xia Qi, whose strength had not yet recovered, would not be able to withstand a single claw attack from the Dragon Soul.
Xia Xi and the other two hurried to Xia Qi's side, desperately resisting the Dragon Soul's attacks. However, the Dragon Soul's attacks seemed endless. It knew that only Xia Qi and Xia Jie knew how to leave this place. Xia Jie was on its side. As long as it killed Xia Qi, Lu Xuan and the others would not be able to leave.
At this moment, a claw shadow suddenly shot towards Xia Qi through a gap in the defenses of Xia Xi and the others. Seeing that Xia Qi was about to die from the claw shadow, Xia Qian, who was beside him, had no time to react. He leaped and threw himself onto Xia Qi, using his body to block the attack for Xia Qi!
Swoosh! The claw shadow stabbed into Xia Qian's back, almost completely piercing through him. Xia Qian could not help but spit out a mouthful of blood, which splattered all over Xia Qi's clothes.
"Qian 'er! Qian 'er! " Xia Qi shouted. He was stunned by Xia Qian's actions. With Xia Jie's betrayal, he never thought that the Crown Prince, Xia Qian, would actually risk his life to save him!
"Fa, Imperial Father … I … as the Crown Prince, I have never … been able to … produce results that Imperial Father is satisfied with. I … have failed to live up to Imperial Father's expectations. Today … I am satisfied that I can die in Imperial Father's place …" Xia Qian tried his best to squeeze out a smile, but the intense pain caused his face to contort.
At this moment, Xia Qi's face was already covered in tears. He thought that after sitting on the throne for so many years and ruling over countless lives and deaths, he would no longer be able to cry. However, he could not control his tears at this moment.
"Qian 'er, you'll be fine. Once we leave this place, We will immediately bring you to Hundred Herb Hall. With Hundred Herb Hall's abilities, We will definitely be able to save you!" Xia Qi said in a trembling voice as he held Xia Qian's face with his trembling hands.
However, at this moment, another ghostly claw broke through Xia Xi and Xia Feng's defences and struck Xia Qian's back once more. Xia Qian spat out another mouthful of blood. Without Xia Qian, Xia Xi and Xia Feng showed signs of being unable to resist.
"Imperial Father … I can't make it … I actually … could tell that there was something wrong with Seventh Brother, but it's a pity that Imperial Father … didn't listen to me. I hope that Imperial Father … will listen to more unpleasant words in the future."
Xia Qi nodded furiously as tears streamed down his face. Xia Qian had indeed told him that Xia Jie was suspicious, but Xia Qi had thought that Xia Qian was dissatisfied with how much he doted on Xia Jie. Now, it seemed that Xia Qian was right, but it was too late for regrets now …
"Imperial Father … I'll be leaving first." When Xia Qian received the third attack, he finally could not hold on any longer and closed his eyes weakly after saying his last words.
"Ahhhhh! Evil dragon, We will tear you into a thousand pieces! " Xia Qi roared towards the sky. Then, his bloodshot eyes stared fixedly at the dragon soul that was circling in the sky. He shouted angrily, "Whoever can kill the evil dragon will be immediately bestowed the title of King!"
However, Xia Qi's promise of a handsome reward did not change the situation. Everyone wanted to kill the evil dragon, not for the reward, but to survive. But now, they could only protect themselves. What could they use to kill the dragon soul?
The situation was becoming more and more critical. Three of the warriors were already injured. If they continued to be injured, they would definitely lose their lives. Then, even the heavily injured Xia Zhengwen had joined the ranks to protect Xia Qi, but he was still unable to resist. Xia Xi's shoulder had already been clawed and was dripping with blood, but he still gritted his teeth and held on. Giving up was equivalent to death.
Lu Xuan was burning with anxiety at this moment. If this continued and a few more people died, the dragon soul wouldn't even need to reveal its true body to kill them. This was also the effect that the dragon soul wanted to achieve.
I must think of a way to deal with the dragon soul. Lu Xuan's mind raced. Just as his eyes swept across the dragon soul's body again, a thought suddenly flashed in Lu Xuan's mind and he blurted out a sentence.
"You're not a true dragon!"
